At NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, the six astronauts who will fly aboard space shuttle Atlantis on its STS-132 mission are participating in an integrated entry simulation, part of the final round of training and other preparations for their flight. Atlantis is in place on Launch Pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where technicians continue their efforts to ready the shuttle for liftoff.
On Wednesday, NASA managers will hold a news conference at Kennedy after the Flight Readiness Review meeting to discuss space shuttle Atlantis’ upcoming mission.
Launch is targeted for May 14 at 2:20 p.m. EDT.
